just like that, a proposal that john boehner puts out. he's trying to say that it is from the bowles proposal but erskine bowles came out yesterday and said flat out that the proposal the republicans put out does not mimic his. therefore, the republicans are lying again. republicans and the tea party people, they know that they are lying. it is just that simple. the president put out a proposal. ok. don't criticize the president for the proposal. show us a real proposal. do not ask us to trust you. host: reporting in "the new york times." republicans say their counteroffer is close to the numbers supported last year by erskine bowles. he said last week his numbers offered testimony to a special bipartisan congressional committee on a visit reduction were not so much a plan as a back of the envelopes addressed and to show a deal could be struck somewhere between mr. obama's position in the speaker during their talks last year. next caller, colorado, independent line. caller: i think's he's been as a great way for people to have their voice

thank you. >> hello, i am john boehner. before i served in congress, i ran a small business here in ohio. i saw firsthand how politicians in washington can make it harder for small business owner to create jobs. in the final days of his campaign, barack obama promised to change this country and to change the world. i do not know about the world, but here at home, americans have not experienced the change that was promised. our national debt has grown by three trillion dollars. trust in government has fallen to an all-time low. these problems did not start under president obama, but instead of fixing them, his policies have made them worse. a stimulus spending spree that created jobs in all salvador while millions of americans lost their jobs here. job killing energy tax, a government takeover of health care, all of these things have created uncertainty for small businesses, the engine of job creation in america, while our children are being saddled with our debt. changes start with cutting spending instead of increasing it.

john boehner is in more trouble now. the senate democrats are more progressive than the people they are replacing. they still do not have 60. it is not quite a stand pat situation. i do not see anybody having that kumbaya moment. point of view up until tuesday night. i think we have been in a situation where both sides seemed to harden their positions as we go forward. i think there was a lot that changed tuesday. that environment is somewhat reflected in the statement that speaker boehner made yesterday afternoon. i was told about comments he made on a conference call about how they had to change the way they operate. you had a very significant victory by the president who campaigned on the issue of fiscal responsibility. is there going to be a change in tax rates? , 60% favored that nationwide. most wanted it on people over $250,000 a year. they wanted 25 of 30 open senate seats. i think they are coming back with a lot of wind in their sails, like the last session of congress or the resurgent republican majority came b
